They used a somewhat bizarre technique in which two mice were sutured together in such as way that they shared a circulatory system (known as parabiosis), and found old mice joined to their youthful counterparts showed changes in gene activity in a brain region called the hippocampus as well as increased neural connections and enhanced «synaptic plasticity» — a mechanism believed to underlie learning and memory in which the strength of neural connections change in response to experience.

The researchers found: cord plasma increased the activity of several genes linked to neural plasticity and memory; young adult plasma activated a subset of the same genes; and older adult plasma had no effect on gene expression.

Again, Nrf2 - related activity was observed only when astrocytes were present in cultures, but significantly, Nrf2 signaling increased in tandem with neuronal firing, suggesting that neurons calibrate Nrf2 activity in astrocytes to keep pace with neural activity.

In the present study, we identified the kakusei homolog in the Japanese honeybee and found that the neural activity of one subtype of intrinsic neurons of the mushroom bodies (MBs) is preferentially increased in the brains of the Japanese honeybee workers during the formation of a hot defensive bee ball.

It works by detecting the changes in blood oxygenation and flow that occur in response to neural activity — when a brain area is more active it consumes more oxygen and to meet this increased demand blood flow increases to the active area.

These findings suggested that neural activity of the KCs, especially the Class II KCs and a certain subpopulation of neurons located between the DLs and the OLs, was increased in the brains of workers during formation of the hot defensive bee ball.

We expected that Acks signals detected at 0 min (in bee ball formation experiment) or in control bees (in heat - exposure and IAA - exposure experiments) would reflect background level neural activity and the neural activity in the workers forming a bee ball, heat - exposed or IAA - exposed workers could be considerably increased.

Using Acks as a neural activity marker, we demonstrated that neural activity in the mushroom bodies, especially in Class II Kenyon cells, one subtype of mushroom body intrinsic neurons, and a restricted area between the dorsal lobes and the optic lobes was increased in the brains of Japanese honeybee workers involved in the formation of a hot defensive bee ball.

Each body part should be trained ONCE a week — this gives plenty of time to recover before the next training session — and I recommend training the full - body, regardless if using the two or three day split, because working the full body produces more anabolic hormone than just doing the upper or lower body alone, recruits more motor units than working the upper or lower body alone, and the more motor units recruited per session, the greater the increase in neural activity, which will train the body to work more effectively as a whole, and therefore aid in better fat loss.
